The patrolman traveling the beat
between Brainerd and Pine River,
unnecessarily endangered the lives ot
hundreds of local men, women and
children Saturday evening between
9:30 and 10 p. m., when they raced
through the main street of Pine River at 70 miles per hour, rushing to
an accident that occurred two hours
earlier. One man was killed instantly and seven seriously injured in the
accident. It doesn't seem logical that
officers hired by the state of Minnesota and paid by the people to protect the lives of motorists, should be
allowed to take a chance on sending
another dozen to eternity to reach
the scene of one fatality but this is
exactly what these patrolmen did
when tliey tore thru, the congested
main street of Pine River at the
height of the Saturday evening rush.
Only a miracle prevented them from
sending someone's child or even a
grown-up into eternity at the pace
they were traveling.
Chief Murray, of the highway patrol and Commissioner Elsberg have
been conducting a safety campaign,
for some time, for the purpose of reducing the toll of lives by motorists
in the state and it seems that incidents of this' sort should be brought
to their attention.

Potato producers in Cass county
will be given the opportunity to vote
on a proposed marketing agreement
during the pgriod of August 19-24,
according to E. J. Dorsey, chairman
of the county agricultural conservation committee.
The program is designed to improve marketing conditions by preventing out-of-state shipment of cull
potatoes, thereby increasing the demand for a better quality product,
says Mr. Dorsey. Elimination of cull
potatoes in interstate shipments and
Federal-State inspection are major
methods proposed by which to carry
out the program, explained Mr. Dorsey.
The. proposed program has nothing
to do with shipping quotas, periods
of pro-ration, sales allotments to
growers or shippers or loading holidays. No restriction Is placed on the
grower or handler in the proposed
marketing agreement program as to
the quantity of potatoes which may
be marketed or sold or on the tim?
at which they may be marketed or
sold.
The cull regulation prohibits the
shipment of cull potatoes in Interstate commerce only, but does not
apply to potatoes marketed or sold
within* the state. The same is true
of Federal-State inspection. If the
cull and inspections regulations do
not adequately meet the marketing
problems caused by potato surpluses,
further limitations on interstate potato shipments as to grade or quality
may be made operative only of recommended by a committee of growers and handlers and then if approved
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The cull regulation, inspection and
grade or size limitation in shipments
therefore, do nothing to restrict the
sale or shipment of good grades of
potatoes in interstate commerce, but
operate merely to prevent the market
ing of a class of potatoes which
would help to create a surplus, cause
congestion in trade channels, impair
the average quality of potatoes available for consumption and reduce the
price to the grower.
The thirty-third annual Cass County Fair Opens on Thursday (today)
and continues thru Saturday.
Eddie Hartnett has been engaged
as comedian and master of ceremonies for the grandstand performances.
Everyone likes a good laugh and Eddie has a million of them—He sings,
dances and injects comedy bits thru-
out the entire program.
Other members of the troupe include the Hartman Sisters, two clever young girl specialty dancers and
acrobatic performers; Lang and Lee,
master jugglers who will produce several fast and flashy juggling acts,
two of the best in the business. They
have perfected routines that are done
by no other performers of this type.
Barbar Beaudry, accompanist for
the show, will present songs, and
harmonica accordian specialties. She
is one of the best in the northwest.
"Whirlwinds on Wheels" a thrilling
roller-skating exhibition by Russ and
Dale. The act is breath-taking in its

dives, ariel whirls and an act where
the girl spins with only a foothold on

other interesting feats.

Potato producers in Cass county
will be given the opportunity to vote
on a proposed marketing agreement
during the pgriod of August 19-24,
according to E. J. Dorsey, chairman
of the county agricultural conservation committee.
The program is designed to improve marketing conditions by preventing out-of-state shipment of cull
potatoes, thereby increasing the demand for a better quality product,
says Mr. Dorsey. Elimination of cull
potatoes in interstate shipments and
Federal-State inspection are major
methods proposed by which to carry
out the program, explained Mr. Dorsey.
The. proposed program has nothing
to do with shipping quotas, periods
of pro-ration, sales allotments to
growers or shippers or loading holidays. No restriction Is placed on the
grower or handler in the proposed
marketing agreement program as to
the quantity of potatoes which may
be marketed or sold or on the tim?
at which they may be marketed or
sold.
The cull regulation prohibits the
shipment of cull potatoes in Interstate commerce only, but does not
apply to potatoes marketed or sold
within* the state. The same is true
of Federal-State inspection. If the
cull and inspections regulations do
not adequately meet the marketing
problems caused by potato surpluses,
further limitations on interstate potato shipments as to grade or quality
may be made operative only of recommended by a committee of growers and handlers and then if approved
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
The cull regulation, inspection and
grade or size limitation in shipments
therefore, do nothing to restrict the
sale or shipment of good grades of
potatoes in interstate commerce, but
operate merely to prevent the market
ing of a class of potatoes which
would help to create a surplus, cause
congestion in trade channels, impair
the average quality of potatoes available for consumption and reduce the
price to the grower.
